A Comparative Numerical Modeling of High‐Efficient CBTS Solar Cell Using SCAPS‐1D

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The highest efficiency achieved is 18.42%, 21.51%, and 21.6% for optimized CBTS/CdS/FTO, CBTS/SnS2/FTO, and CBTS/Cd0.1Zn0.9S/FTO solar cell, respectively. The results prove that low‐toxic Cd0.1Zn0.9S buffer layer provides best performance among all three buffer layers and SnS2 buffer layer also shows promising results.

Analysis of the Voltage Losses in CZTSSe Solar Cells of Varying Sn Content [PDF]

The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2019
The performance of kesterite (Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4, CZTSSe) solar cells is hindered by low open circuit voltage ( Voc). The commonly used metric for Voc-deficit, namely, the difference between the absorber band gap and qVoc, is not well-defined for compositionally complex absorbers like kesterite where the bandgap is hard to determine.

Mitigating diffusion-length limitations in back-contact CZTSSe solar cells via synergistic field-effect engineering: a two-dimensional TCAD simulation study [PDF]

RSC Advances
Interdigitated back-contact (IBC) architectures can eliminate front-surface parasitic absorption, yet their application to kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) absorbers is strongly constrained by the mismatch between the minority-carrier diffusion length ...
